Do I need a massage or chiropractor for back pain?
First, you need a proper exam to determine the diagnosis so you would need to see a Doctor of Chiropractic or other qualified provider. Once that is done, the appropriate treatment for your condition can be prescribed. There are many reasons for a 37 year old female to have back pain, so being thorough will rule out any serious conditions that could be overlooked by just treating the symptom and not the cause.

How long should it take for a chiropractor to fix your back?
Hello, It is a good question but not a simple answer. Each person is different based on age and the condition you have. Typically to get out of pain it may take 4-12 visits within 2 to 6 weeks. If someone has a more complicated condition such as a herniated disc or severe scoliosis the treatment may take months or longer. The main thing is to get an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan that has specific goals where you can measure progress. If a chiropractor is doing the same thing over and over without re-exams or a program to show correction, you may want to question their motives. I believe honesty, clear communication, and good ethics is very important. READ MORE
